Designed for novices, this free 10-page companion to CIS 1145 Reliable Data Tools for Idaho Counties and Towns
clarifies terms often used by the U.S. Census Bureau and other federal and state statistic-generating agencies. Among the
39 terms explained are: intercensal estimates, inflation, real dollars, race, and poverty level. The publication also suggests
questions to ask when using data to make a point and things to consider when using data, including why some data shouldn't
be compared.
